The Ability to Throw a Ball. Another's Memory

By the age of forty, the hero had barely started to show signs of baldness, a belly, and a complex about his small height that he carefully hid. A scientist living next door invented a serum that improves neural connections between the muscles of the hands and the brain. After an injection, a person gains one-hundred-percent control over the actions of the hand muscles; the invention can make any utterly ordinary person into a genius artist or athlete. The hero agrees to take the medication. (“The Ability to Throw a Ball”)… The scientist grew a complete biological copy of himself from a single one of his cells. The younger clone begins to figure out the original’s affairs from twenty years ago. (“Another Person’s Memory”).
